On a night filled with charm and musical brilliance, Oryx International School hosted its first Winter Concert of the year on November 27th, marking a long-awaited return since the last event in 2019 (pre-Covid). The auditorium came alive with the energy and enthusiasm of Year 4, 5, and 6 students who delivered a captivating performance seamlessly blending music, dance, and humor.

The event, spanning over an hour, showcased the artistic prowess of the students, leaving a lasting impression on the memories of all attendees.

Their professionalism ensured that the audience remained engaged and connected with the essence of the performances.

The program featured a diverse array of performances, starting with the heartfelt choir of Years 4, 5, and 6, singing the soulful "Hot Chocolate" by A. Beck. The auditorium then reverberated with the rhythmic beats of the percussion ensembles from Years 5 and 4, presenting "In the Hall of the Mountain King" by E. Grieg and "Song of the Bells" by M.

The bell ensemble of Year 6 transported the audience to the lively streets of Brazil with "Rio Samba" by R. Zenker, A. Moreira, and G. Engels, while the Year 4 percussion ensemble mesmerized with their rendition of "Song of the Bells" by M. Leontovych.

The talented soloists also took center stage, with Dia S delivering a perfect rendition of E. Sheeran "Perfect," Noah F capturing hearts with "I'm Yours" by J.
